Chapter 1

Audrey did a handstand against the wall. What if they never call her in for a mission? The council was very sketchy whether or not they even wanted her in the field. She didn't have any powers. She was terrible with a gun. And she had acrophobia. Like, bad. Agents were supposed to be fearless.

Audrey stepped down and looked around her room. It was about 2 ½ years since she started with the council of time. Time didn't pass in the tween-mension, so she didn't really know exactly how long she had been here. And she didn't age so that didn't help.

Audrey heard a knock on the door. She ran and whipped opened the door. There stood her friend Cam. Audrey sighed slightly disappointed. "What? Am I no good any more Miss Field Agent?" Cam laughed. Audrey laughed.

"No" Audrey explained "It's just I've been an official agent for what I think has days now and they still haven't called me in. Dana had her first mission and is back already. What if they never send me out because I'm the dud?"

"Well, don't worry! It's your lucky day because they sent me to tell you to get your cute little ass over to the council's room." Cam smiled. "Are you serious?" Audrey exclaimed. Cam nodded "Don't keep them waiting."

Audrey took off down the hallways and stopped in front of the huge doors. She took a breath and put on a serious let's-get-down-to-business expression. Audrey pushed opened the doors to the council.

They were sitting at high podiums that curved into a half circle. "You called?" Audrey said. "Yes," the head councilman said "In training, you excelled in hand-to-hand combat, even with your... disadvantage, and problem solving. Well, we have a problem in 286. Point Pleasant West Virginia United States Earth August 2007 to be exact. See, we think a gabber beetle has entered this dimension. You know what a gabber beetle is right?"

Audrey nodded. "It's a creature that lives mostly in the void. But sometimes enters a dimension and feeds on the radiation you give off when you survive a near death experience"

"Exactly, we need you transport it back to the void if it is a gabber beetle. If it turns out to be something else, you'll need to exterminate it" The head councilman said. Audrey nodded "Anything else?"

"No, you'll leave as soon as you are ready" The councilman said. Audrey smiled and went back to her room. She looked at the clothes she was wearing. Audrey knew sweat pants and a tank top wouldn't cut it for mission clothes. Why did Cam even let go to the council's room with it on?

Audrey tore through her closet. She pulled out a black vest a friend gave her. It was flexible leather that she liked. She put on over her purple cami. Audrey then found some black jeans to match.

She knew she wouldn't be able to part with her short heeled boots so Audrey put them on. She walked out the door with a few other necessities in a bag. She hesitated on her ipod but brought it anyway.

Audrey walked into the portal room. "286, Point Pleasant West Virginia United States Earth" Mim said. "I know. They sent your information over" the portal manager said and started preparing the laser. Audrey saw Cam in back and shot him an excited smiled.

"So here's your equipment. Oh, don't forget about the aging sickness. It'll start about 12 hours after you enter the dimension and will go on for about 6 more hours ok?" the portal manager said. Audrey nodded. "Team ready to fire?" he yelled out. "Ready" The team responded. They all used their power source to fuel up the laser.

The portal then appeared on the portal dock. Audrey closed her eyes and stepped through. She opened her eyes and she was standing on a road. There was the sound of a loud engine. It came so fast Audrey didn't even have time to scream.

The black car swerved in time to miss her. It stopped and 2 guys got out and ran to her. "Who are you and where did you come from?" the one with longer hair asked. "Dude, she popped out of nowhere so she's probably a spirit." The other one said.

"Well, she is standing right here listening to every word. Oh, and she isn't a spirit, very much alive thank you very much." Audrey said. "Then answer his questions" the one with short hair said.

"My name's Audrey. And you'd most likely want to take me to an asylum if I told you where I came from."

"Trust me; we see things that make people want to put us in asylums every day." The guy with longer hair said. "We definitely got you beat" The guy with short hair said. "Ok if you give me a ride to Point Pleasant West Virginia I'll tell you everything on the ride there." Audrey said.

"We're heading that way so jump on in the back." The guy with longer hair said. "Dude, do think we should think this over?" the guy with short hair whispered. "She might have something to do with your Mothman. It's not every day a random 12 year old just pops out of nowhere"

The guy with short hair sighed and let Audrey into the back. They took off down the road.

"As promised" Audrey said "I come from a place in between dimensions called the tween-mension. I came through a portal that was meant to put me just outside Point Pleasant West Virginia. I was sent here looking for a gabber beetle."

"Well, that' pretty good." The guy with short hair said. "I'm Dean and this is Sam. We drive around the United States in in my beautiful '67 Impala. We fight the supernatural like ghost demons and vampires."

"This is a solid car. Very nice" Audrey said. "Thank you" said Dean. He leaned toward his brother. "Ok she can stay." He whispered. "Wait what time is it?" Audrey asked. "About 3:00 in the afternoon, why?" Sam said.

"Will I be able to be in a room by 3 am?" Audrey asked. "Definitely why?" Sam asked again. "In the tween-mension, I don't age. But since I'm in a different dimension my body's going to start aging again and I heard it's not easy trip." Audrey explained.

"You heard? Are you new at this or something?" Dean asked. "She's like 12, right?" Sam looked at Audrey. "Um, I don't know. But physically yes." Audrey said. "Why are you doing this alone when you're so young?" Sam asked.

Audrey shrugged. "It's only a D-level mission. I can handle it" "Got any idea where this beetle thing is?" Dean asked. "Well," Audrey said "I know it feeds off of a weird radiation we produce after we survive a near death experience that a lot of other people died at. This one has found a taste for the survivors of the Point Pleasant's Silver Bridge."

"We were investigating those deaths. Do you want us to help you?" Sam asked. Audrey bit her lip. "I guess it would be nice to have some back up on my first mission." "Ok first things first find a motel." Dean said.

They found a cheap motel about a half an hour later. "2 rooms please" Sam said to man behind the counter. "I can pay for myself. The council didn't send me totally unprepared." Audrey said. "Ok 1 room. Make sure there are 2 beds." Sam said correcting himself. Sam paid and got the key

Audrey pulled out a wad of cash. She handed him a 2 50s. "1 room, 5 days, no one knows I'm here." Audrey said. The man nodded and handed her a key. Dean and Sam watched in awe. "Ok you're buying dinner." Dean said. "I'm not eating dinner. Can't have anything in my stomach until I'm aging again" Audrey said.

"Ok, but then you're buying dinner" Dean said.

The next day, Audrey knocked on Sam and Dean's door at a little after 9. "Please tell me you got some heavy duty pain medication." She said. "Wow, you look as bad as I do when I'm hung over" Dean said as he got the pills. Audrey swallowed it without water.

"So, Dean and I went to the police station and got all the names of the survivors. There are 20 still alive." Sam said. "Man that's too many for us to stake out one and wait for the thing." Audrey said "I guess we should try to find some sort of order"

"All the victims have been females. So that brings us down to 11. Causes of death were killed with a snap of the neck then gruesomely had their heart ripped out." Dean said reading the police report. "What? Was just heart missing? Or was more body parts eaten?" Audrey asked.

"Well the heart wasn't missing it lying on the floor next to them" Dean said. Audrey sucked in a nervous breath. "Th-This isn't a gabber beetle. If a gabber beetle attacks its victims, it usually eats almost the whole body after absorbing the radiation."

"So this isn't a gabber beetle? Looks like we're back to step one" Dean said.
